Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry was seemingly trolled by his former teammate Andre Iguodala on Monday night, but flipped it into a chance to praise Iguodala's golf game.

The exchange began when Iguodala posted a photo of himself driving a golf ball to Twitter with the accompanying text, "#NewProfilePic."

Iguodala's reason for changing his Twitter profile photo wasn't because of his perfect form in the swing he's finishing up in the photo. It's because of something in the background, circled in yellow to highlight it – Steph Curry squatting down, mouth agape at his former teammate's drive.

People responded to the post with sadness, waxing nostalgic for the not-s0-long-ago days when the two players were teammates, before Iguodala got traded to the Memphis Grizzlies. So what happened next was sure to make Warriors fans extra sad.

The former teammates are known for their love of hitting the links. On Monday, Howard University announced that Curry gifted six years worth of funding to the school so they could start a Division 1 golf program.

And Curry and Iguodala were reunited when they both played in the American Century Championship, a celebrity-amateur golf tournament held in South Lake Tahoe. Their reunion occurred a couple of weeks after the Warriors announced that they were trading Iguodala to the Grizzlies.

At the South Lake Tahoe event, Curry got the best of Iguodala, finishing tied for seventh while the 2015 NBA Finals MVP finished 57th.
